You already know how many responsibilities you have, both as a mom and as a blogger. Obviously, your first responsibility is to your kids. Can you remember anything in your life having any real meaning, before they were born? But you also have responsibilities to both yourself and your readers. You’re obviously going to be responsible for your own actions, and things such as how often you blog, and the content you put out there with your name on it. But what about to your readers? Don’t you have a responsibility to give them great information? As a blogger, aren’t you a natural philanthropist? No matter how high tech the web lets you be, your nature is still a big motivator.

This is why you have to sometimes bite the bullet, and not do something that is just “for the money.” After all, you still have principles you have to live by. And even if you didn’t have a mirror you have to look at yourself in every day, you still have the ultimate mirror; your kids. How could you possibly teach them how to be good, responsible people, if you didn’t live up to some pretty high standards in your own life? Honesty trickles down through the generations, you know.

That is one of the biggest reasons why, as a blogger, you are going to occasionally face some truly hard times. And even though there might be ways to push through by doing some shady things, you don’t do them. If you have to go get a cash advance, in order to keep your principles intact, it’s ultimately a pretty small price to pay for being able to keep your integrity intact. No matter how many bills you have to pay, or how many responsibilities you have to keep up with, you know you can do so without any stains on your conscience whatsoever.
